HONEYSUCKLE can kick off her campaign with another win in the Baroneracing.com Hatton's Grace Hurdle (2.40).
Henry de Bromhead's superstar has two renewals of the Grade 1 on her record – and bids to match fellow mares Solerina and Apple's Jade by landing a third.
The unbeaten performer held the reopposing Ronald Pump by a half a length in the two-and-a-half-mile test 12 months ago.
A hot favourite to make it 13 wins on the bounce, it is hard to find any flaws in Honeysuckle, one of the best hurdlers of recent times.
This race should be run to suit with front runner Stormy Ireland adding the pace angle – and all roads can lead to Cheltenham once again.
Fairyhouse's card also features another exciting type in the shape of MY MATE MOZZIE.
Gavin Cromwell's charge has a high cruising speed and has shown plenty of ability under positive tactics.
He has the attributes to handle the step up in class in the Grade 1 Baroneracing.com Royal Bond Novice Hurdle (1.05).
